...Joseph F. Hiestand of Hillsboro, Ohio: the 500-target amateur trapshooting championship of the world, with 497 breaks (including an unfinished run of 326) to 494 for Walter S. Beaver of Berwyn, Pa.; at Yorklyn, Del. ¶ Jack Hagen, Long Island golf professional (no kin): a prize in the N. Y.

Briskly directed by Roy Del Ruth, all this makes a highly satisfactory addition to the Robinson series on racketeers at work and play, at home and abroad-a series which may eventually be regarded as the most interesting and most typical in the U. S. cinema of its period. Good shot: Bugs Ahearn trying desperately...

Other opposition leaders beside ex-President Menocal are Colonel Carlos Mendieta. highly esteemed but generally considered too old for the job; and former Mayor Miguel Mariano Gomez of Havana, a genial politico. All these men are Hombres del '95 and the A. B. C. is heartily sick of its revolutionary ancestors. It is a youth movement, largely Fascist in ideas. It believes in breaking up the vast U. S. controlled plantations, establishing a real national currency, a national bank of issue, ending the Government lotteries and having compulsory...
